Transformers Writer Ehren Kruger to Bring The Brothers Grimm to TV

Miramax has hired Transformers screenwriter Ehren Kruger to transform The Brothers Grimm into a television series.

According to Deadline, the new series will build on the 2005 film starring Heath Ledger and Matt Damon, following the adventures of brothers Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm as they discover the supernatural creatures plaguing 19th Century Europe.

Kruger has most recently worked on Transformers 2, 3, and 4, but he also penned The Brothers Grimm film's screenplay for director Terry Gilliam.

“We reached out to Ehren Kruger and producing partner Daniel Bobker to see if they had any interest in making The Brothers Grimm movie into a TV show and the pitch Ehren came back with blew us away,” said Miramax VP of Television Daniel Pipski. "We’re thrilled to be working with a writer of his caliber.”

Krueger and Bobker will executive produce alongside Sanne Devine and Pipski for Mirimax.
